Figure 1
Kaplan–Meier survival 1 year after hospital admission by number of long‐term conditions. Adjusted survival‐curve, based on Cox regression model adjusted for age, sex, universal vital assessment and site. Vertical drops represent censored patients (alive or loss to follow‐up at their last contact). The number at risk, events and survival probability are shown in online Supporting Table S3. No long‐term conditions, n = 242; single long‐term condition, n = 300; and ≥ 2 long‐term conditions, n = 865.
